EPA Wants Your Dirty Water Comments
written by Steven Barrymore

EPA steps outside the box. Or in this case, the watering hole. The EPA has launched a discussion forum blog to solicit comments on how best to protect America’s drinking water supply. The blog contains 4 separate topics for comments.

1. Addressing contaminants as a groups [sic] and better enhance drinking water protection in a cost-effective manner.
2. Fostering development of new drinking water technologies to address health risks posed by a broad array of contaminants.
3. Using the authority of multiple statutes to help protect drinking water.
4. Collaborating with states to share more complete data from monitoring at public water systems (PWS).

If you are an interested water expert, advocate or just part of the general water-drinking public, you can chime in on any of these topics. But do so before these discussion topics are closed. The EPA is leaving these topics open for about one month – they did not mention if the one month deadline is from the Aug 17 EPA website news release or one month from when the blog topics were posted (July 29). So, get comfy with a nice big glass of (filtered) water and blog away — your government needs you.
